Re: What spoiler is this?
I just bought the car this last weekend and the spoiler was already on. It has a definet 2nd Gen (77 T/A) look to it. This isn't the first 3rd gen Pontiac I've owned and I've never seen this spoiler before. The paint on the spoiler has a bit of orange peel, but before I have it repainted I'm thinking of molding it.

Re: What spoiler is this?
Never seen it before. Could be custom. If you can make a mold and reproduce it I'm sure you could sell it.
I like it though. It's similar to a 1st spoiler, but it's taller and thinner towards the top of it. It look good.

Re: What spoiler is this?
Wow never seen that one before but it looks good though.
I try googling some 2nd gen spoilers no where near your spoiler. You should ask the seller where he got it from. I would imagine a bunch of bird owners will be very interested on that spoiler.

Re: What spoiler is this?
I checked the Hawk's 5" and this isn't it, this spoiler is a one piece. The previous owner didn't know either as it was one the car when he bought it too. Wouldn't be the first time I've molded a spoiler. We shall see I guess.
I'll try to get some better pics of it tomorrow.

Re: What spoiler is this?
I don't know either, but it looks fantastic! Probably the best looking Firebird spoiler I've ever seen.

Re: What spoiler is this?
i like it because it's different, but i still think the best looking firebird spoiler is the Mecham racing one.

I've seen one, it was part of a special "bandit" edition thirdgen that was done.

Re: What spoiler is this?
The same spoiler. Mine has the third brake light, it's an aftermarket also. Made of fiberglass.

Re: What spoiler is this?
^No, they don't seem to be common at all. I myself only remember seeing two of them, they were both red. I vaguely remember seeing a black one too but it's been several years.

Re: What spoiler is this?
ive seen 3 Bandit II's where i live, 2 black and one red, that looks to be the same spoiler used on them, they were dealer optioned cars as stated above,
yours might be an aftermarket one, but it definitely looks like the bandit II's

Definitely 67-68 Camaro Rear Spoiler, they fit perfect. Do not use the 69 Rear Spoiler as it is too long. Cheers

Re: What spoiler is this?
Are you saying that you yourself have or you've personally seen a 67-68 camaro spoiler and put it on a thirdgen trunk lid or that you think a first gen would fit perfect?

I believe that I found a member with one, Fords88bird. I'll PM him to see if he has anything to add.
